Trying on a shaatnez garment
Question
I am staying abroad right now. Am I allowed to try on clothing in a store, even though it might contain shaatnez (a forbidden mixture of wool and linen), and then bring it back to Israel to be checked?
Answer
Dear …!
It is permissible to try on a garment that may or may not contain shaatnez.
